Beshear on Trump's bill: "It's the single worst piece of legislation I've seen in my lifetime and it is a congressional Republican and presidential attack on rural America. In my state alone, 200k are gonna lose their coverage ... 20k healthcare workers are gonna lose their jobs, and we've got up to 35 rural hospitals that may close."
@jerrygoff The kids were in a Quristion camp. Maybe Dog is telling them something. I'm not sure getting on your knees and blubbering will help.
if the President has the ability to nullify laws, then the US is in theory and practice, a dicatorship.

In his farewell speech, outgoing President Biden left us with this warning:
"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. We see the consequences all across America."
Across the WORLD, not just America.
Anyway, lots of pointing fingers, looking to the horizon (thanks Yoda), never knowing where you are at (again).
I did one more after that:
"would people vote for billionaires to enslave them"
Then this was in the results.

"Dachau was the first step on the road to atrocity. Will America go there? Eight months ago, I would have said never. At that point, America was still a nation under the rule of law. Now, we have politicians cheering the image of people being fed to alligators" and "selling swag celebrating the construction of an American concentration camp."

@wdlindsy Can't wait to see their tail spin when they realize there won't be any FEMA help.
"No state has a longer, more profit-driven history of contracting prisoners out to private companies than Alabama."
"...it has constructed a template for the commercialization of mass incarceration."
"Best Western, Bama Budweiser and Burger King are among the more than 500 businesses to lease incarcerated workers from one of the most violent, overcrowded and unruly prison systems in the U.S. in the past five years alone..."
Massive Russian Attacks!
Putin commits this outrage because he has every confidence that Trump will fail to exact ANY price.
Trump might compose an angry social media post, but Putin is clearly convinced that nothing more will happen
With his inaction, Trump shows Putin that his America is content to leave Kyiv defenceless against Russian air attacks
Putin responded logically and ordered his biggest assault yet. By withholding Patriots, Trump gave Putin a green light.
